I very rarely get to test something completely new, that is not a variation on a theme. The Clarisonic was absolutely new (and has now been copied a zillion times) and now I can add Perfekt make-up to my list.
Using a product called Perfekt provokes all kinds of hideous images - I would probably much rather it was called something like "Bit Better". Manage those expectations....
I tried the eye perfection gel, skin perfection gel, brow perfection gel and cheek perfection gel. The make-up is packaged in metal canisters and you pump the contents out on to your hands. It emerges rather like a mousse, looking terrifyingly dark, which you then apply. It seems to coat your skin and creates a matt, airbrushed look which I read in the press release but dismissed as phooey until I tried it. The best way to describe the finished look is 'professional'. Taking five minutes to apply it makes you appear as if you have been worked on by stylists for hours. I couldn't really see the benefit of the eye perfection gel, but other than that the rest of it was amazing stuff.
It is not a foundation, it is not a primer, it is not a fake tan, and yet it is sort of all of them. Paris Hilton uses it apparently which I have to say is probably the only sensible thing she's ever done.
